The death of a Wyoming-based ski instructor who was killed after a collision with another skier has been ruled a homicide The Teton County Coroner confirmed to PEOPLE that Peter
Wuerslin's April 17 death after he collided with an unidentified 34-year-old skier on the morning of Sunday, April 14 at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) in Jackson Hole, Wyo.,
has been ruled a homicide. Per a Facebook post made by the Teton County Sheriff's Office (TCSO) on Monday, April 22, the collision occurred at approximately 10 a.m. on the Rendezvous
Trail at JHMR in Teton Village. Wuerslin — a 71-year-old part-time ski instructor — was skiing with a group of peers when the unidentified skier collided with him from uphill, per the skiing
industry site Snow Brains. He wasn't teaching at the time of the incident. The resort told the outlet that Wuerslin was wearing a helmet when the collision occurred, but the
unidentified skier was not. _Ski_, a magazine focused on the sport, obtained ski patrol reports stating that the unidentified skier, who also lives in the Jackson Hole area, “failed to
maneuver” around Wuerslin before the accident occurred. Both men were taken to St. John’s Urgent Care Clinic in Teton Village, according to Snow Brains. The unidentified skier was released
to recover at home, while Wuerslin was eventually transferred to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho, where he was immediately put on life support. The_ Billings
Gazette_ reported his family saying that Wuerslin had “severe brain damage that is irreversible.” Per Jackson Hole News & Guide, he "never regained consciousness" after the
collision. Coroner Brent Blue confirmed to PEOPLE that Wuerslin's death was ruled a homicide and his cause of death is an intracranial hemorrhage. He joined JHMR as a ski instructor in
1978 and was a seasonal employee. _WANT TO KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST CRIME COVERAGE? SIGN UP FOR _PEOPLE_'S FREE TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER FOR BREAKING CRIME NEWS, ONGOING TRIAL COVERAGE AND
